Getting Started with macOS

Install

To get started, download the appropriate package for your machine from the list above. This will install the Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server. These are powerful tools that will help you develop your Phidget applications.

Phidget Control Panel

After downloading, drag the application into your Applications folder:

You can then find the application in the Applications folder by searching for Phidget Control Panel.

When you open the application for the first time, you will see the following notice:

Follow the link in the pop-up, or navigate to System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions > Extensions, and give permissions:

Note: The driver extension is only required for legacy USB Phidgets running a HID USB stack. Refer to your product’s specifications page for information about its USB stack.

After running the application, you will see all the Phidgets that are plugged into your machine, as well as any Phidgets that are on your network.

Click on the arrow beside a device to expand it so that you can see all available channels. Double-click on one of these channels to open up a window that lets you interact with it.

The Phidget Control Panel can be used for testing devices, updating firmware, enabling a Phidget Network Server, and more. Visit the Phidget Control Panel page for more information.
